1) Tickin' In My Head ************************ Short newsletter this week y'all. On the PWX side of things we have moved past our old animation tasks and moved ahead to tightening up the game mechanics (on level three) and all the little things that make a game fun...we hope. That said, the changes we've been making to the engine foundation over the last few months will require some minor changes to the final art assets, mainly the way the characters are textured. In hindsight, I'll never get more than one character produced for a game until the game is 100% functioning as it should be first. Even so, the changes that we want to make are really minor and it affects only animated characters. The Hammerlock level will remain as is with no need to make any changes. It's only about a week of work to update the character textures and won't be anything that holds up Uprising at all. It was a drag to originally realize we had all this nit-picky work to be done just to smooth out animations but it was a blessing in disguise. Now absolutely everything will just work better.Load faster, too.
2) Death and... *************** I would like to take this moment to thank the best business partner I've ever had, the Government of Canada. It's that time of year when I submit my taxes and in return they provide me with killer small business loans, grants, and subsidies. Viva la Maple Leaf! The only thing they've asked in return lately is that we do something special to pay tribute to the history of wrestling in Western Canada. My pleasure.
3) Newsletter Hunt **************** Eric is working on the new PWX site and one of the things he's doing is pulling together all of the past WGU newsletters into an online archive. Thing is, we don't exactly have them all. I think we go as far back as #4. So if for some incredible reason you happen to have any of the really early ones numbered 1-3 please leave us a post on our forum and let us know:
